The magic of lemon juice and activated charcoal: Natural DIY solutions for skin and teeth

Treat your feet to a mini spa session. Dissolve a tablespoon of charcoal and a tablespoon of lemon juice in warm water, then soak your feet for 15-20 minutes. Add a few drops of peppermint or tea tree oil for a cooling, purifying effect.

While the mixture of lemon juice and activated charcoal provides many benefits, make sure you avoid irritation or damage by overusing it.

If you use it more than once a week for your teeth, you can easily affect the teeth enamel. Also, if you have a delicate skin, have in mind that the lemon juice may irritate it, so make sure you do a patch test before applying it in full.

Never use the mixture on open wounds or cuts since it can cause irritation and damage to your skin.
